rumplestilskin Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We have seen it all this year. It started with Albert Haynesworths drama and then moved to the Donovan benching. Then it was the destruction on Monday night. Negitive media vibes have been surrounding this team and nobody would touch this team as a winner as if it were inflicted with leprosy. Today was a big win and we did it without many of our starters. It seems like the media will look for any open wound in which to work on against our team. Do we finally get respect in this conference or does this win look as if we were just the lucky benefactors of the deficiencies of the titans today? Who thinks this was a statement game?

They'll spin it somehow as if we're a terrible team. I don't think we're a playoff team in the least bit but we're a team that if we can finish 7-9 with the little talent we have right now, it'll be a pretty good year considering we're trying to rebuild this team in 2 to 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 a statement game???? We won in OT to get to .500. We were wrecked with injuries and beat a team with a QB that will be selling cars next year. Great win for us yes, statement game...no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLredskin Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We are irrelevant now...we will get no media play especially this week since we are playing against another team that is out of the playoff race... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We only won because Young got hurt and a rookie QB was in for them :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIN4WAHOOZ Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 has then media been right about any team this year? who gives a **** what they say. I watch ESPN for scores, updates and highlights, not to hear these douche bags give their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Shrug. If they said we were a struggling team that isn't playoff material this year, would they be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 They'll say we're an enigma. Win when we're not supposed to and lose when we're favored. Who knows what to expect one week to the next with this team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'll get back to you when I've checked the Extremeskins boards, then consulted with J Reed on what B/S story we can come up with to turn full circle and explain how we always knew the Redskins would bounce back- JLC, The NFL Network.

Jofizz Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 This is why I do not pay the local media any of my attention (aside from CSN occasionally). Just hearing these buffoons talk about the Redskins you can tell they hate the team almost as much as their jobs. If you happen to be a Redskins beat reporter DO YOUR JOB (Jason Reid). Spreading negativity is their specialty, and now that the Redskins did something positive, they are left with nothing else to do but try to cause some sort of controversy in an attempt to unravel this team.

poopoobigelow Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We are irrelevant now...we will get no media play especially this week since we are playing against another team that is out of the playoff race... i think you're totally right... what this game showed the media is that we're not bad enough to mock, but not good enough to laud... they won't say much...

Parsec2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 They'll find someway to blame McNabb, ignore the fact he threw for almost 400 yards and concentrate on every pass he missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibby Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I mean they can't really say because they had a rookie QB in the game. The Titans failed to score a TD when VY was in for 3 quarters. I just like to see them give us mad props and then have them throw in that we were missing Landry, Rogers, and Torrain at the start of the game. That would make me happy.

MustangSteve Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Lets be reasonable, we just reached 5-5. Is the media suppose to jump on the band wagon and proclaim us the team to beat? Let's win the next 6 then see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's win the next 6 then see what they say. The media is never reasonable with this team. It was doom and gloom last week. The way the media made it sound is that we are deficient from the core of the franchise. We were the franchise that had the stale QB, the lame duck coach and the crappy owner. Now that we beat a team that beat everyone else in our division, where do we stand? I say that they should leave the skins alone for awhile and look for garbage drama somewhere else.

RabidFan Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I am just glad DMAC improved his cardiovascular endurance and learned the 2 minute offense... actually he was huffing and puffing a lot today and didn't run when he had chances.....he's a big ass man and might gain speed and career length if he leans out about 10-15lbs and works on cardio and ballet ala Jerry Rice....there is no reason he needs guns the size of Orakpo...he has a cannon without them.

VY is a self centered punk who thinks the team revolves around him. note to Shanny: if you even THINK about bringing him in, I hope you get terminal crabs...
